apologies mate, was just being an ass here :) ...my eyes burn with multiple posts from other threads...anyways is the nimphetamine revived recently same as was with the rom before?posts on that thread gave me sketchy answers
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
Looks like the guy doing that has used ninph as a base and started doing whatever with it so won't be the same as different dev so no one will know which route hacre would've taken had he continued development on it.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jermitano:
thought so...peeps using vrom from my thread prefer phenomenal now for this...havent gone back and will wait if a new one comes out...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Entropy512:
Those who know Hacre can guess whether he would have taken a different route, and I know that one of the new guy's first proposed features is one that usually results in a pretty nasty insult from Hacre. :) He exercised great restraint with his "more frequency steps than an FM radio" comment IMO...

There's also the fact that the guy took a VERY long time to push his modifications to git. Lastly, he's developing in master now, which while I admit is something I'm doing now, it's something Hacre avoids.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
what is the difference between developing in master and what Hacre tries to avoid? sorry just curious:o
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] veyka:
Yeh, I am surprised Hacre's post didn't have more eloquent put downs, maybe hes mellowed (:p).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Entropy512:
That is what he tries to avoid.

https://github.com/Ninpo/ninphetamine/commits/master - You'll see that master only has build cleanups, gitignores, and upstream (samsung) patches in it.

Not that developing in master is explicitly bad - a lot of people (including myself) do it (although with ICS I will probably move more into branches). However, if you're using the Ninphetamine name, one should continue the development methodology and philosophy of its creator.

If the apps are originally installed in micro-SD card then when re-applying the backup, when I put a blank memory card back in, will it re-install those apps onto the memory card again??

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
No, it won't install them automatically.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] p4nts:
Reinstalled VR yesterday which went fine except VR Tweaks is now not showing any patches - refreshes okay but does not find anything?

Is then a just me or is anyone else getting this?

VR 3.0

VR Tweaks 1.3.1
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] p4nts:
In Titanium Backup, you can choose whether it restores apps to the SD Card or internal memory, in the preferences. Not sure whether that is only available in the paid version?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Entropy512:
BTW, I've been on XWLA4 for nearly a week - I haven't seen noticeable improvements over XWKL1 (I didn't have any of the issues reported 1-2 pages ago), but no apparent regressions either. So LA4 might be a safe base for one final release - personally I think more people should beat on it though.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Battletux:
Is there anyway in VR3 to have apps etc use the external SD card by default for storage instead of the internal SD?

I ask as I want to make the most of my 32gb card and to stop the internal storage filling up (too much offline spotify mainly).

Ideally I'm looking for an apps2externalSD type setup.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lensman76:
Couldn't you store your spotify music on external SD card instead?

Just a guess as I have no idea if you can...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
+1 on XWLA4... stable as a rock.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Battletux:
I can see no way to do this within the spotify app.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chrisjcks:
You used be able to save all offline music to your external sd card, I no longer use it but doubt that they have removed this feature.

Check your spotify settings.

Don't go making issues in other developers threads you was requested to rename kernel from original developer. Pretty simple request to which could have been followed.....

Hi,

I've flashed VR 3.0 just now. Unfortunately, now my PC doesn't recognise the phone as it used to do (just before flashing, it was recognizing two drives under My Computer when I activate USB connection on the phone). I've heard it could be something to do with drivers for 2.3.5 not being present or something?

How can I make my PC see my phone as drives again?

UPDATE: If I deselect USB debugging, then windows recognises my phone as a 'phone'. Would be great to have it recognise when USB debug is on though...

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] happiboi:
unplug phone from pc.... disable USB debugging then re-enable USB debugging.. plug back into PC... this is what i did and works fine. :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] WiGgLr:
you need to do this every time you reboot your phone
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
I never did when I was on VR3. Seems it acts differently for each phone and doesn't just affect this ROM.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] WiGgLr:
I think it's Ninphetamine 2.0.5 related :)

earlier version of that kernel didn't have the issue

Anyone heard anything about ICS release ? I thought Sammy were due to give us something in 1st March ?

cheers for the quick reply btw.

Im using the kg3 modem.

i havent tried betterbatterystats, but will download that right now.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] slind:
Thank you very much.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] veyka:
Defo some wakelock issues, awake and screen on time not matching up, unless you are listening to music or something while the screen is off :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mixxy:
yup...music with the screen off was right on the ball.

i just installed betterbatterystats, any advice as to what i should be looking for? and should i look after a full charge and discharge or is now fine?

edit: here is a screenshot
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] A$h x:
After install, I assume that Villain is based on stock samsung firmware? And most changes/tweaks are "under the hood" so to speak? I only ask because it looks and feels pretty similar to the firmware that ships with the phone.

Anyway, thanks for all the hard work mate, it's very much appreciated :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rodak:
I've set up my wifi to sleep when my screen turns off but it remains connected.

Anyone else that can confirm or is it because I have restored my wifi access points with Titanium?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yes, the improvements are available in VRTweaks app after installing rom :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mixxy:
@pulser i also had one request...

could u please include SIP support over 3G in your next rom? It shouldnt cause any issues from what I can understand. For some reason, I cannot for the life of me, modify the framework apk to enable it. and thats the only reason that I keep considering going over to cogs rom, but i prefer yours in every single other aspect.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] veyka:
Well that looks ok, I cant see any big problems.

Maybe turn down the polling frequency of the facebook app.

Looks like there was a section of heavy activity with the screen on that nuked the battery.

And 22hours isnt that bad to be honest ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] eiraku:
Truth be known, I've always liked apps that push modular, ROM-agnostic theming, like WinterBoard (even if it was a bloated piece of work) or in our case, MetaMorph (considering NinjaMorph doesn't really work on the SGS2).

I mean, you can upgrade to ROM whatever version infinity and still generally have the themes working (unless it's TOO fundamentally different from stock like AOSP or a full ver. upgrade like to ICS for instance). Also, you can choose to theme different parts of the UI differently (diff systemUI, diff contacts app), rather then be forced to use whatever combo the themer has for you.

Shame Metamorph never really took off, people (noobs?) preferring pre-packaged, single flash themes so that if anything goes wrong, it would be the themer's fault, not theirs lol.

IMHO, anyway. Or were there any other reason why MM never took off?

Myself I package all my self-modded themes into a MM template (courtesy of the John Doe Morph guy), and apply as needed.

Planning to do this to VRPulSandwich later, and like I said before, hopefully it doesn't break TOO much stuff.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mrvirginia:
no, i don't think it's kernel related. i'm back on CF-Root KG6. anyway, the wakelock isn't for long on my device. 29sec here is hardly anything to worry about. would just like to know why it's there without Gtalk installed (basically confirmation that it is/isn't part of google framework that will run regardless)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] veyka:
Anythings got to be better than messing about with the different apks and bits of the framework, and hoping that the things you want to mix together dont touch the same files, and end up breaking everything.

Android could do with a real theme engine, on everything not just the t mobile one on CM.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] runedrune:
That would be possible only if every device was running stock android. :p I think.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rab1412000:
hi pulser, great job and support as usual.

just wondering if you are still releasing an odexed version of this rom?

cheers
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chamonix:
The count of wakelock for rilj make me think, that you may not have disabled fastdormancy

Hi i love villain team roms

I have htc hero with your rom.

Now i stuck on 9100g without your team roms :-(

Thanks for your hard work.

Please port villainRom for i9100g

Thanx
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Entropy512:
No member of the VR team has a G nor do any of them intend to purchase one to my knowledge - not going to happen.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Perhaps buy the i9100 instead of the G?

I buy a phone based on the hardware, and development prospects, rather than what's available :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chris2busy:
Hey guys...havent been updating my xda knowledges for a while..i kniw this aint the best place to ask but since the rom uses it by deafault...what happened to ninph kernel?did the dev give up?is it over?

Lool that kernel im afraid died of old age. Their are lots of new and exciting kernels now ;)

The dev took time out due to IRL stuff like getting married afaik, and decided that he didnt want to come back.

He may come back when ICS rolls around.

Volume

Hello Pulser,

I have been using VR3.0 since release and I am still very happy with my setup. Thank you for this great ROM.

Question:

Is it possible to have more volume steps?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1411317

I have tried to follow the guide, but failed because I am too n00b ..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yes, that should work fine.

You planning to try the tweak yourself? :) Looks reasonably easy to do, let me know if you have issues and I'll take a look
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] o0sYkOo0o:
Hello Pulser,

another question:

In the past I remember that in Swype I could add words to dictionary. Swype is telling me the new word has been added, but still I cannot swype it ... :S

Is this problem ROM related? Do you know how to solve it?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] californicated:
You could try to install the newest Swype Beta. It's great :)

Register and download the installer here:

http://beta.swype.com/android/create/

Delete Swype via Titanium Backup. Delete "libSwypeCore.so" in /system/lib

Use the installier to download and install the latest Swype Beta.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Entropy512:
That volume hack might not play well with Samsung's firmwares. They have some weird volume control logic (at least for headphones, didn't play much with speaker):

For the first half of the steps, it seems like volume is purely controlled somewhere in software. The ALSA mixer settings, if you dump them with amixer, do not change.

Past this, the hardware volume controls start changing in an increasing curve.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Hmm interesting. I understood this just tweaked the software understanding of how many steps to offer... But now you mention it, the crippled sound might cause issues...

Only way to know for sure is to try it out :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] veyka:
I remember when HDv6 has the 15 volume steps in it, it broke some stuff, errr, I think for example gentle alarm, and maybe skype, some things didn't ring or where linked to the wrong volume slider.

Its all in the HDv6 thread somewhere, just a warning though.

(I used to read Engadget, but they where not very good at even trying to be neutral and they used a lot of hyperbole, which always got on ones nerves.)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Ahhhh... Typical samsung, eh?

Click the red link in my sig and fill in the petition, if you want to see an end to such incompatibilities on samsung devices... Proper cooperation with developers could achieve a lot!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] veyka:
I signed it a few days ago, we can only hope they actually listen!

btw, I know you where the one putting in requests for the kernel src, have you put one in since update3? Cos it defo seems stuff was changed (At least that's what Entropy512 has been saying re Bluetooth etc, and one is inclined to believe him), or is samsung just taking the piss and saying nothings changed? (I know its late in the day for GB kernels but im still interested.)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
I've not requested... Which build are you after?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] veyka:
I am not even 100% sure what the newest non leak is, LA4 maybe?

Actually how do you go about putting requests in btw?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Entropy512:
I can confirm that anything after XWKK5 is missing the Bluetooth HID stuff. Who knows what else they changed.

We shouldn't have to go hunting for the fix in another device's source tree (like us getting lucky with them ****ing up their Sprint releases so badly they HAD to do multiple source drops at around once per month.) to fix our device.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] frottage:
I really like Engadget and their style of reporting - I think they are one of the better websites out there - I accept that suggesting samsung will release ICS based on a single Facebook post is a little sketchy but time will tell - this time next week we might have a new version of VR to play with.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Sorry... It needs to be done!

I used to read engadget, but then I took an arrow to the knee!

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] veyka:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Karpfenhai:
Yeah, and sometimes problems appear, even on VR ;)

Since the last market Update my Phone wont sleep anymore.. ;(

Checkin Handoff from GSF is the culprit and im not able to get rid of it :mad:

which is very disappointing since i was able to solve any possible probs by myself until now!

My guess is, google play.. but i uninstalled it and went back to the "old" market but it doesn't help.. wipe cache and dalvik no effect, fix permissions and pull battery for a while (common solution on ICS), no effect.. im desperated..

luckily i have a fresh backup, but before using it, any help / idea is much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

If someone need logs for analysis, just tell me.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Entropy512:
Yup. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

There was discussion about possibly rebasing since XWLA4 seems reasonably stable and fixes two (small) known issues with XXKI3 - but by the time that was deemed stable, it was getting a little too close to ICS.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Its a conundrum really...

Its all well and good taking the time with testing to make sure that there aren't any regressions. However, there is no point wasting too much time testing because before you know it the base you end up wanting to use becomes outdated.

Logged using an SGS2 type droid while floating in CheckROM quadrant on a research mission.......
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Entropy512:
Yeah... IMO, XWLA4 is a good candidate for a rebase at this point.

The problem is Samsung keeps screwing around with release rumors... SK Telecom says they're rolling out an update tomorrow. On the other hand, Samsung officially said ICS is "delayed", which means no longer Q1 2012.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] veyka:
And then the world would end, or something horrific! :cool:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kickassdave:
Hey, yes there is a few culprits that normally cause battery drain. Media thumbnails etc. One of the MIUI V4 threads has a list of things to delete which might resolve the battery drain. Hope this helps mate.
